Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2579

"What? Again with the talk about surrendering?" Zhu Bajie was dumbfounded for a split second before retorting with a smile. "Zhang Jue, just who do you think you are? You think you can get me to surrender just because you asked?" At that very moment, Zhu Bajie was almost amazed by Zhang Jue's audacity of trying to bring chaos to the Nine Continents, even after being locked away by Lu Bu for a thousand years.

Sensing Zhu Bajie's contempt, Zhang Jue's face darkened in rage. Zhang Jue thought of himself as the man that would rule over the Nine Continents and was furious at being disrespected and insulted by Zhu Bajie. He locked glares with Zhu Bajie and said, "You asked for this!"

A wave of terrifying aura exploded from within Zhang Jue as soon as the last word was spoken, the air around them instantly froze at the force. The ferocious power was beyond imagination and everyone that was in its presence felt as though they were trapped under water. Zhang Jue streadily raised his right arm into position and struck towards Zhu Bajie.

‘Not so bad, after all,’ thought Zhu Bajie as he scrowled at Zhang Jue's incredible speed. There was no time to dodge and so he fired up his internal energy to counter the attack. An earth-shaking shockwave was released as soon as their fists collided and spread across to their surroundings. Cheyenne and the remaining disciples of the Endless Sky Organization stumbled backward, petrified in fear.

The previous care-free expression on Zhu Bajie's face had become serious as the realization of how horrifying Zhang Jue's true power was hit him. It took firing eight levels of his internal energy to counter that one blow!

Zhang Jue, too, was alarmed by the encounter. ‘As expected of a hero that has been famous for thousands of years. Capturing Zhu Bajie might not be as easy as I had imagined,’ he thought, ‘but with the Sky Breaking Axe in my hands, there's no need to worry about that.’

Sensing the caution in Zhang Jue's eyes, Zhu Bajie barked a laugh and teased, "Hahaha! Now what? You still want to fight?" Zhang Jue might be a dangerous man to most people, but Zhu Bajie was not intimidated by him at all.

"Brother Zhu!" A voice shouted from a distance, followed by a dashing figure that approached at high speed from the sky. It was Darryl, and all eyes gathered on him simultaneously the moment he arrived.

Zhang Jue seemed shocked at first, but immediately sobered and smiled triumphantly, "So you've finally appeared, Darby. Wonderful timing, I must say. I am going to have both you and Zhu Bajie captured together."

Darryl turned red as soon as he caught sight of Zhang Jue and swiftly drew the Heavenly Halberd before pointing it towards Zhang Jue. "Zhang Jue, you are going to pay in blood for Jewel's death today!" he shouted. No man could remain composed in the presence of their foe, and Darryl was no exception to it. The thought of Jewel dying before her time had driven him off the edge of sanity and he could no longer contain himself.

"Brother, you and me, we are going to get rid of this pest for the sake of the Nine Continents," Zhu Bajie yelled proudly.

"Brother Zhu, do not underestimate him, he has the Sky Breaking Axe," Darryl warned. Despite the burning rage in his heart, he hadn't allowed himself to be blinded by hatred. Though he might have had Zhu Bajie's help, they should still be cautious considering that Zhang Jue was in possession of the Sky Breaking Axe.

What? Zhu Bajie's expression darkened at the mention of the weapon. ‘Didn't the Sky Breaking Axe go missing three years ago at the Wild Deserted Secret Region after Donoghue Dixon had fled with it? How did it end up in Zhang Jue's hands?’

Zhang Jue sneered and stared intently at Zhu Bajie, "That's right, I have the Sky Breaking Axe. This is fate! I, Zhang Jue, am meant to become the supreme existence of the Nine Continents. Forget the two of you, even if you get another hero to back you up, you won't stand a chance against me. Prepare to die!" As soon as the last word was spoken, Zhang Jue summoned the Sky Breaking Axe and swung. Waves of overpowering aura radiated through the air, gathering storms upon the entire sky over the mountains. To most that bore witness to it, the scene before them was apocalyptic!
